Structure of the information
Sensor data block
The datasets of up to 30 sensors (20 IQ S
ENSOR
N
ET
sensors and 10
differential sensors) of the IQ S
ENSOR
N
ET
are made available to the
Modbus in a sensor data block in the controller of the IQ S
ENSOR
N
ET
.
Query and response
telegram
Data transmission takes place via query and response telegrams. The
form of the telegrams is determined by the Modbus RTU protocol.
The Modbus master transmits a query telegram with a Modbus
command to a Modbus slave. The Modbus slave transmits a response
telegram with the requested data from the sensor data block or an error
message.
Supported
Modbus commands
The IQ S
